You can deduct the property taxes as an itemized deduction on Schedule A (subject to the $10,000 limit for state and local taxes) if your property is not "in service". You cannot deduct the mortgage interest on Schedule A whether the property is rented or not. The mortgage interest deduction is limited to your primary residence and a second home. It does not include mortgage interest on investment or rental properties.
